The term “personal information” used throughout the Website is defined as follows:

Personal information means information about a living individual which can identify the specific individual by a specific piece of information contained therein such as: the name, the residential address, the age, the sex, an email address, logs for accessing the Website, tastes and preferences, or other description; a numerical character, mark or other code assigned on an individual basis; or a graphic image or voice (including such information that will allow easy reference to other information and will thereby enable identification of the specific individual).

Gathering of personal information and scope of utilisation

The purpose of gathering your personal information is to enable Nature’s Bounty and its business partners to: carry out marketing activities, web-based services and sales activities, customize the information to be offered to you through the Website, and provide you with information that has been optimized based on your registration information. In addition, we will utilize your personal information to verify your identity when we receive your inquiry about our products or services or your application in any online form.

Provision of personal information to third parties

As a general rule, your personal information will not be disclosed without your consent to anyone other than Nature’s Bounty or its business partners who have entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Nature’s Bounty. In this regard, operation of the Website and certain web-based services are outsourced from Nature’s Bounty to a firm that has entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Nature’s Bounty.

* Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may disclose your personal information in any of the following cases.

* If we receive a membership application or inquiry through the Website or an application for a customer review program for sample products or monitor products in the form available on a designated webpage which has been filled out, registered, or transmitted of your own will and which contains your personal information, we will consider that your consent has been granted and we may therefore disclose your personal information to our business partners in charge of shipping services outsourced by us.

*When Nature’s Bounty determines that you may put a third party at a disadvantage, the information provided by you, records of telecommunications with you, and your registered profile may be disclosed by Nature’s Bounty to the third party in question, the police or any other competent authority. In addition, Nature’s Bounty or its business partners may disclose your personal information in any case where disclosure is required by law or needed for the purpose of safeguarding the rights or assets of Nature’s Bounty or its business partners.

When Nature’s Bounty gives explanations about its products or services to its prospective business partners, client companies, or other related third parties, or when the purpose of disclosure is legally justified in any other case, Nature’s Bounty may disclose your personal information in the form of statistically processed data (in a form that cannot identify a specific individual).
